Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

The only workaround today is to type something like "exit plan mode" into Revise. That misuses the field (it's labeled and intended for plan revisions, not control commands) and depends on Claude correctly interpreting the message as a mode-exit rather than as a revision request.

This replaces the current workaround of typing "exit plan mode" into the Revise field with an explicit, discoverable control that does exactly what its label says.

Problem Statement

When Claude Code proposes a plan, the action panel only offers Revise, Accept, and Accept and auto mode. There is no button to exit plan mode and continue the conversation as a normal chat.

This matters when I don't want to revise the plan and I'm not ready to accept it — I just want to ask a question, discuss the approach, or get more context before deciding. The Revise field is for revising the plan, not for chat.

Proposed Solution

Add a "Continue chat" button to the plan action panel, alongside Revise / Accept

Clicking it should exit plan mode and drop me back into normal chat, where I can ask questions and discuss the plan freely. From there I can re-enter plan mode whenever I'm ready.

This replaces the current workaround of typing "exit plan mode" into the Revise field with an explicit, discoverable control that does exactly what its label says.

TL;DR

Adding a "Continue chat" button to the plan action panel is the most likely fix to allow users to exit plan mode and continue the conversation as a normal chat.

Guidance

  • The current workaround of typing "exit plan mode" into the Revise field is not ideal, as it misuses the field and relies on correct interpretation by Claude.
  • To implement the proposed solution, the plan action panel would need to be updated to include a "Continue chat" button alongside the existing Revise and Accept buttons.
  • Clicking the "Continue chat" button should exit plan mode and return the user to normal chat, allowing them to ask questions and discuss the plan freely.
  • The new button should be explicitly labeled and discoverable to avoid confusion with the existing Revise field.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not include any specific code references.

Notes

The proposed solution assumes that the plan action panel can be modified to include a new button, and that the underlying functionality can be updated to support exiting plan mode and returning to normal chat.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The proposed solution of adding a "Continue chat" button is a clear and explicit way to address the issue, and is preferred over relying on the current workaround of typing "exit plan mode" into the Revise field.
